Touch Cartography

A poem titled "Touch Cartography" is overlaid on a soft, pastel blue background. Faintly visible behind the text is the silhouette of a Black woman with a headwrap, her hand resting on her forehead in a contemplative pose. The poem is set in a delicate, elegant font and speaks of touch, memory, and sensuality, referencing places like the nape of the neck, lower back, and inner elbow. The overall mood is intimate, tender, and reflective.

You know that feeling
Yeah
That one

That charge electric
When your fingers
Remember
My favourite places

The nape of my neck
My lower back
inner elbow

That shift
To another level
You … You
… You throw me off base

Especially when you reach
Those other places
Tucked away —

There’s nothing left
For me
To say
